New role for Ruth Jones – championing Welsh libraries

Actress and writer Ruth Jones is taking on a new role to promote and act as a spokesperson for Welsh libraries.

During 2009/10, Ruth will be attending events, taking part in media interviews and commenting on media stories about libraries and helping launch a high profile national campaign in the autumn.

This is the first time libraries in Wales have had a celebrity Library Champion and follows on from the success of last year’s Happy Days campaign which was launched by Ruth in Barry Library and enlisted the support of a number of celebrities to raise awareness of the value of libraries.
